lexmark x1270 I can t make i work with windows vista don t have the drivers

First, Vista has it's own drivers and will assign it's own to your printer when you plug it in. This method will not work with many external devices. Completely disconnect the printer. Then install the lexmark driver. A window will pop up saying that the software being loaded is not approved by windows. Click install anyway. The software will instruct you when it is ok to connect the printer. You may have to go into the printer and faxes (control panel) and delete the current default printer.

I suggest you use the driver from the Lexmark website. You may need to uninstall the existing Lexmark X1270 driver first before installing the new one (instructions on how to uninstall the Lexmark software available at http://bit.ly/8ZH59T). Then, check if your Vista and Windows 7 are running on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system by going to the Start menu > right click on Computer > Properties. Download the compatible driver for your operating system:

If this link works download the Vista drivers, maybe update your firmware. But start with the driver first.
If that link doesnt work. go to lexmark.com then , drivers and downloads, select download a driver, enter x1270 into the search and it will get you where you need. But try this link first, it should take you directly to the page you need.

Important - Do not reconnect the USB cable until the install software prompts the question of how the printer is connected

Important - Delete old installs
